2. Introduction to main business or products during the reporting period

(I) overview of the company’s operation

2021 is the first year after the outbreak of covid-19. It is also a year of retaliatory growth in the export business of China’s brand manufacturing industry (the annual export of goods trade is 21.73 trillion yuan, an increase of 21.2%), and it is also a year with the greatest pressure and challenges for the productive logistics industry, which is embodied in the following four aspects:

The first is that the epidemic is still going on. Under the “dynamic clearing” policy, the epidemic situation in China was effectively controlled in 2021, but the overseas epidemic was still rampant. In order to curb the transmission risk of Omicron mutant caused by imported goods and foreign infected persons, China’s major hub ports have strengthened epidemic prevention and control, slowed down and formed congestion.

Second, the export demand is large. The manufacturing industry of major overseas economies has been seriously impacted by the epidemic, the manufacturing industry has returned to China, and the global demand for goods is heavily dependent on Chinese production and manufacturing.

The third is the difficulty of export logistics. International transportation has experienced the most serious congestion in history, from the stranded Suez Canal of the “long gift” ship, to the port of Los Angeles and long beach on the West Bank of the United States, from the port of felixto in the United Kingdom to Yangshan Port and Shenzhen Yan Tian Port Holdings Co.Ltd(000088) , with “one cabinet hard to find” everywhere, and some freight rates are more than 300% higher than that in 2020.

Fourth, there is a great lack of active and passive components. It electronic active and passive components are out of stock, which makes it difficult for electronic manufacturing enterprises to complete the set of raw materials. Generally, a large number of “hoarding” and “looking for goods” everywhere, and the production presents a “pulse” form, resulting in the “rush” of production logistics enterprises, which are in a state of fire all year round.

From the above four aspects, it is not difficult to see that manufacturing enterprises and productive logistics enterprises are facing great difficulties, pressures and tests in 2021. In 2021, the logistics industry showed differentiated development in subdivided fields. On the one hand, the international freight forwarding industry fully enjoyed the price increase bonus brought by the “difficult to find one container” of international transportation. On the other hand, the production logistics enterprises did not have the price increase bonus, but could enjoy the red profit of business volume growth. Therefore, compared with international freight forwarding enterprises, productive logistics enterprises will have to withstand the double test of management pressure caused by the substantial growth of business volume and cost pressure caused by the rise of labor salary in 2021.

In 2021, under the leadership of the core management, the company held high the banner of high-tech and digital management. In view of the pressure of management and labor cost caused by the growth of business volume, and carrying forward the spirit of technology and hard work, the operating revenue in 2021 was 1.468 billion yuan, an increase of 36.66% year-on-year in 2021 on the basis of 16.68% in 2020; The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company was 309 million yuan, an increase of 58.81% year-on-year in 2021 on the basis of 51.65% in 2020; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non recurring profits and losses was 212 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 31.38% in 2021 and 2020.
